President Donald Trump<\/a> escalated his public feud with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, further fueling a rift between the two leaders in the lead up to the NATO summit in Turkey this week.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“RESTRAINING ORDER NEEDED,” Trump posted on Truth Social Sunday alongside a photo of Meloni looking at him.<\/p>\n

Trump landed in Ankara, Turkey,<\/a> on Tuesday for the NATO summit, where Meloni is also in attendance. The two leaders have long had a warmer relationship than Trump has shared with many other U.S. allies, with Meloni notably the only European leader to attend his 2025 presidential inauguration.<\/p>\n

A spat began in June, however, after Trump said Meloni “begged” him to take a photo at the G7. Meloni pushed back on the claim.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Trump’s statements against Meloni speak for themselves,” Italian Foreign Minister<\/a> Antonio Tajani said Monday while at a Sky TG24 event. “We are convinced that transatlantic relations go far beyond individual statements.”<\/p>\n

The latest exchange followed an earlier flashpoint at the G7 in June, when Trump mocked Meloni\u2019s interest in taking a photo with him.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“She wanted a picture with me so \u200bbadly. I wouldn’t have taken it, but I felt sorry for her,” Trump said at the time to La7 TV channel. “She’s probably happy I talked to her. I didn’t have to talk to her.”<\/p>\n

Meloni fired back: “I can only say it is disappointing that he does not show the same determination with the enemies of the West<\/a> and of the United States, whose leaders he instead treats with far greater indulgence.”<\/p>\n

“There is one thing he should remember: neither I nor Italy<\/a> ever beg,” she added.<\/p>\n

While there is no U.S.-Italy bilateral meeting scheduled in Turkey this week, Trump and Meloni may rub shoulders at the NATO leaders’ dinner<\/a>, plenary sessions, and leaders’ gatherings.<\/p>\n

There have been looming tensions between the two leaders after Meloni distanced herself from the U.S. amid mounting domestic and political pressure over the widening Middle East conflict<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Trump also criticized Meloni for failing to assist the U.S.<\/a> without letting U.S. forces use Italy’s landing strips and runways<\/a>, calling it “a great logistical inconvenience.”<\/p>\n

“She is doing poorly in Italy<\/a> with her level of popularity, possibly because she turned down the United States of America, a Country that truly loves and protects Italy, when it came to denying Iran from obtaining or developing a Nuclear Weapon<\/a> (But so did NATO, for that matter!),” he wrote.<\/p>\n

Italy remains a key U.S. security hub in Europe<\/a>, hosting nearly 13,000 active-duty American troops<\/a> across six bases as of the end of 2025.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for Meloni declined to comment when contacted by Fox News Digital. Fox News Digital also reached out to the White House for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
